Former Vice President Joe Biden's left eye appeared to have a blood vessel burst while he was participating in CNN's town hall on climate change.
Biden has long been plagued by health issues. In 1988, he suffered an aneurysm that burst and required him to undergo emergency surgery. The then-senator was so close to death that a Catholic priest began preparing to administer the sacrament of last rites.
Months later, surgeons clipped a second aneurysm before it burst. Biden then took a seven-month leave from the Senate following the surgery. He’s described the operation as “they literally had to take the top of my head off.”
Doctors removed a benign polyp during a colonoscopy in 1996. In 2003, Biden had his gallbladder removed. He also suffers from asthma and allergies, and takes a prescription drug to lower his cholesterol. He has also taken medication for an enlarged prostate.
Biden hasn’t disclosed his medical history since 2008 when doctors found he had an irregular heartbeat.
Holy crap!!! That will teach me to eat in front of the computer! Thank the good Lord for whoever invented hands-wipes.
If FOX bounced her and Juanita off the show, I might resume watching “The Five”.
Seems like Biden is falling apart — one piece at a time. BUT, he is so arrogant that he will keep in the race until he finally keels over in public. WAIT — that didn’t keep Her Heinous out of the race.................
“He is a walking hemmorage”
Or a walking hemmroid.
Reminiscent of when Bob Costars had pink eye at the 2014 Olympics.

I had forgotten about that little twerp.
Yep, there is no way in hell they will nominate him. I’m predicting they will be stupid enough to nominate either Fauxcahontas or Sanders. If they had one modicum of a brain cell, they would put everything they got behind Tulsi Gabbard and nominate her as obviously out of all these psychopaths they have running, she’s the most normal and would be the best chance they have to beat Trump, but they are brainless dweebs so they’ll nominate a lunatic just like Hillary and Trump will absolutely obliterate them again.
Hah!
Big Foot’s Big Sister, Big Thighs!
Good one!
hmmm... what were the others lifting? Fauxcahontas had to lift up her tomahawk, and Bernie had to lift up his Hammer and Sickle!
Her Heinyness, some of us called her.
I think the plan is to try to get him elected with a VP that is much more unpalatable to the electorate. He gets in, bows out due to health issues and then the unpalatable one becomes president who then can run for “2” more elections after he finishes out the term of Biden. He or she then can also choose an equally loathsome VP who will also run for the same length of time. America becomes a dictatorship and then splits apart in civil war.
And get rid of Geraldo too.
Which won’t happen as his good friend Hannity would fight that.
Off subject a bit, but motor mouth Jessica Tarlov needs to be reigned in.
She constantly keeps throwing out many things which are blatant lies and leftist propaganda that the hosts don’t call her on.
When she interrupts truthful conservative comments they just let her ramble on and on with her satanic talking points.
I saw a segment today where she kept rudely interrupting and dominated the whole segment.
These women and men who are intimidated by her and so do not counter her lies need to interrupt her back with the facts that would completely destroy her lying diatribes.
She should not keep being allowed to continue being rude and hateful with not a word said to show what a lying hateful propagandist she is.
If one is taking blood thinners and drugs designed to reduce platelet reactivity, you are susceptible to more bruising and conjunctival hemorrhage. You have to look beyond the “conjunctival hemorrhage doesn’t indicate immediately threatening” corner. When it happens at all it is a response to stress or irritation or temporary rise in optical pressure. It can be an early sign in glaucoma. It certainly might be a one off but you also have to be aware of the physical context in which it happens.
It doesn’t happen everyday and most people never ever have it happen to them. When it does happen, it might never happen again but it could be a warning sign for those with physical ailments such as hypertension and are on medications making them susceptible to bleeding. You will see it sometimes with diabetes( intermittent intraocular hemorrhage is more common leading to slow damage of the retina and possible gradual blindness) At least speak to your family physician when in doubt and definitely speak to him or her if you get repeat bouts in a short period of time...say twice in a month.
I haven’t watched the 5 recently (my wife clues me in) because I found my blood pressure rising each time juanita was allowed to monopolize the “discussion” with his ignorant rants. Gerry is worthliess as well.
My biggest complaint is when lies go unaddressed.
If you have been lifting toilets the same way for years without issues but one day you do it and you get the burst eye vessel, it is at least time for a general health check. From the ophthalmologist point of view no danger to the eye but a GP might want to check BP, a1c, and general health. It can be a point of reflection to ensure continued good health. That being said, I now wonder how often it happens to serious weight lifters.
Look up Adrenochrome side effects.
Just make sure a Demonrat doctor isn’t the one analysing the MRI for diagnosis ;)
“Let’s be fair. That is a conjunctival hemorrhage, its benign and not indicative of any serious underlying condition.”
True, it’s nothing serious, but he’s running for President of the United States. When Richard Nixon ran in 1960, he declined makeup during the first ever televised debate and also broke a sweat from the TV cameras.
That was purely superficial and cosmetic, yet it may have cost him the election - that and Democrat cheating.
If you fart in public and you are not running for President, people laugh - it might be embarrassing but not career ending. Some people say John Kasich eating a sloppy pizza in front of the camera brought his campaign to an early close.
You’re right that it’s unfair, but I think this blood filled eye will cost him a lot of support - people don’t want to look at that.
Ha!
